Who: Halden, Jason, and Caleb
What: Talking after the Kat/Halden break up
Where: By the creek/ Caleb's work place
When: Saturday the 6th of September after Halden has had time to fester
Status: incomplete
Rating: TBD

Halden was completely pissed at himself for breaking up with Kat very rashly but he knew it had to be done and he knew he had hurt Kat. In order to get his frustration out Halden decided to take a tennis ball and his racket and volley against himself till he was completely out of energy. Doing this usually took his mind off of things like how much of a jackass he thought he was or what happened with Jason in the other room the night before.

Halden had finally wore himself out to the point where he could barely walk and he decided to hunt down Jason. He checked Jason's room and knocked on the door he wasn't there.

Halden took out his phone and texted Jason Where are you? I pretty sure I need to talk

Jason had taken to sitting near the river drawing on the days when Caleb worked and he didn't. Since the growing season was over, the nursery had been very slow of late, and his hours were cut way back.

He was a little surprised when his phone beeped at him. The only one who ever called or texted him was Caleb, and he was at work - or should be, anyway.

When Halden's number came up, Jason was more than a little curious.

Down near the creek in the forest. Drawing. What's up?

	Halden sighed and texted back. I broke up with Kat on Thursday and still feel like a jackass for just blind sighting her with it and... I could just really use someone to talk to... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh... that was not good. Well, not particularly bad either...

Painful to be sure. Halden must feel horrible after doing a thing like that. Why, if he ever broke up with Caleb - or the other way around - both of them would likely be in a world of hurt.

Come on out here. Do you want me to meet you by the forest edge?

Something niggled at the back of Jason's mind, thinking that there could be something wrong with this situation. Still, a friend in need, and all, right?

Halden began walking over to the forests edge from the tennis courts as he texted back still pretty upset. Yea that would be good I'll probably get lost.

Halden arrived at the edge of the forest pretty quickly and saw Jason there waiting. Halden was sure he looked like a mess. His shirt was off after a couple of hours of tennis, his hair all messy, sweating like crazy, and racket in hand which all together probably made Halden look like a psycho but he didn't care at the moment he just need to vent and he only trusted Jason.

As he arrived he sort of smiled but he was a bit to hurt to make it a full smile, "Hey... sorry to interrupt your drawing."

"No, that's okay. Come on, I'll show you where I'm set up."

Jason led Halden back to where the creek ran down through the forest. It took a little while to get there, but once they got to the banks, there was a nice log and several boulders to sit on. "You look like shit. I mean, like... yeah."

He motioned for Halden to sit on one of the rocks. "It was that bad?"

Halden nodded quite worn out from all the practice. He sat with his back on a boulder and his ankles crossed, "Well lets see we went to that 'book club' meeting and i couldn't stand it any more so I went to run off to the music room ya know bury myself in my practice. She caught up and I told her I couldn't do it any more I couldn't keep this relationship up. She thought I was already seeing someone else," at his he blushed slightly cuz he was sort of emotionally with someone else, "I said no there wasn't a someone else I'm not cheating on you so on and so forth then we had a spat on line and I went and buried myself in tennis to forget about it which didn't work and now I'm here."

Halden took a deep breath after his tirade, and wiped the sweat off of his chest with the shirt in his back pocket.

"Jeez. That sucks," Jason said, setting his things aside. "And you weren't even cheating on her and she didn't believe you? Dude. That really sucks."

Halden was obviously overheating. Jason took his shirt away from him and went and dipped it in the water from the creek, then tossed it back to him. "Here. wipe yourself off with that," he said.

"So, um, do you regret it? I mean, do you wish you hadn't broken it off with her?"

	Halden took his creek and sweat soaked shirt and whipped off some more sweat leaving creek water on his upper body as Jason instructed, "No I don't regret it. Not at all I wouldn't want to just have things not work out and people get hurt even more than they have to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah, that's the part that sucks. I'd hate to have to do it, myself. I mean, you know the person's gonna be all upset."

For the most part, Jason tried not to hurt anyone. He really liked his friends here, and went to extra care to make sure they were alright.

"So, she's still mad at you? I mean, I can see how she'd be mad, but if it wasn't gonna work out, it wasn't gonna work out. I think it's better that you ended it not and didn't let it go on longer."
